It is yet to witness any significant effect by Brexit on London’s status as the finance-technological centre of Europe. However, the City of London Corporation has already been working on actualising favourable policies and regulations to maintain the flow of funding and talent for the sector, the rating compilers comment. According to a report in December 2017 by Her Majesty’s Treasury, the Fintech sector “contributes £6.6 billion annually to the UK economy, and employs over 60,000 people in 1,600 companies”.
